Chicken inside egg?

[Karaski]

I get it. I was the same way with my first batch. My rooster is young, and I didn't know if he was getting the job done properly. The first week wait sucks.

I’ll say haha. I want to know now gah

If they haven't been incubated at all or washed, you won't have to worry about them getting too cold. They can last for a couple of weeks at room temp if they haven't been incubated. If that's the case, it's too early to tell if they are fertilized or not.

It’s very cold where I live so they went through below freezing temps but in a package. I really hope they are ok.

Hmm....that is a bit concerning...at this point I would say go ahead and put the eggs in the incubator, wait a week, and candle again. They might have frozen, going through below-freezing temps, but nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck!

Hello
Here's a trick I use that I learned from someone else and have had very high fertility rate among the eggs I chose that will go into incubator. I might have a dud here and there but am amazing how many eggs are viable with this method.
I candle all eggs and choose the ones that look almost all clear with no dark spot like the one yours is showing before i incubate any egg. A clear egg indicates it's fertile. A dark blob indicates non fertile.
I was very skeptical about this method but IIke what I was told..... if you don't believe me .. try it.... so I did... I was blown away. I almost had 99.8 % fertility rate with every egg and chick development to lock down with most of them hatching. Just to prove this I also choose some that had dark blobs and marked these as duds.... they turned up as duds!!
Like Holy Chicken...... or Holy Quail...this method works!.
if you don't believe me.. give it a try.......
